24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Third over C&D in November and that was off a 4lb higher mark; two lesser efforts have followed and his long losing run looks set to continue. |

9st 6lb |
Runner-up at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) in June and now 4lb lower; however, his subsequent form has been patchy and his long losing run continues; the first-time visor needs to spark something. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Best known for his heroics at Hamilton; safely held three times since placed there (8.3f, good) in May but had heavy ground as valid excuse at Ayr on Tuesday and remains 1lb lower than when winning this race in 2025. |
16/1 |

Soundly beaten at Carlisle (1m, good) three weeks ago but may have needed that first run since May; won three times last autumn (good to soft/soft) and is below his last winning mark; capable of a big performance. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |

Course scorer who has a solid record on going softer than good; below par in the spring when last seen but has a good mark to work with back from a break (gone well fresh before); considered. |
16/1 |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Added two more wins in 2025, at 1m (good to soft) and on this track (7f, soft; made all); back on his last winning mark but this year's efforts lag behind what will be needed today. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Veteran who is often slowly away but registered a sixth win at Newcastle when seeing off 12 rivals in a classified race over this trip in July; however, he was always behind in a 1m course handicap since and has been beaten in his last 11 handicap attempts. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
Course winner (1m2f) when trained by Archie Watson; struggled for this yard in 2025 and the addition of a tongue tie and return of cheekpieces aren't enough to tempt. |
50/1 |
|
9th 6 (9) |
22nd Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |

Has dropped down the weights and his trainer is among the winners; however, he's struggled in the main this season and has been beaten 16 times since his sole win in March 2024. |
16/1 |

14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Sole win came for previous trainer Archie Watson over 1m2f at Newcastle (11-8 favourite) in March 2024; 0-11 for this trainer and continues to slide in the weights; has plenty of work to do with Monhammer and Ahamoment on recent C&D evidence. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |

Hasn't fully sustained a good start to the campaign but proved resurgent on AW debut last time; has possibilities on classified debut, provided he builds on that effort; C&D winner. |

11st 0lb |
Won twice over 6f with cheekpieces for Kevin Ryan in 2023; mainly disappointing since and well beaten on the Flat (1m/1m2f) this year; hurdles debut; others look stronger candidates. |

8th 4 (2) |
26th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Both wins for Kevin Ryan as a 3yo came over 6f including one here; losing run up to 16, though, and plenty to prove on this first go beyond 1m. |

8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner who's landed a handy draw back from a short break; remains on a competitive mark, having returned to form latterly, but he stays 1m well and today's easy 7f looks a bare minimum. |
6/1 |

4th 9 (7) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner off 1lb lower last July (good); best run this term when runner-up to a subsequent winner at Beverley last time (7.5f, good to firm; fifth has also won since); solid chance. |

2nd 11 (10) |

29th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Well beaten on his last two starts, over C&D (soft) most recently, but he has a good record here and he won at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) three starts ago; also effective on slow ground; not discounted. |
11/1 |
|
6th 6 (7) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Plenty of good efforts since the blinkers went on, including an all-the-way win over C&D (good to firm; acts on soft) in June; also made all over 1m1f at Musselburgh towards the end of August and it may be worth forgiving a lesser effort at Carlisle last week after a slowish start meant he was unable to take up his usual front-running role (also pulled too hard); C&D form figures of 23122 earn him a place on the shortlist. |
10/1 |
|
10th 3 (4) |
9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
He was gaining his second win of the summer when making all in a 1m1f handicap at Musselburgh 16 days ago; up 3lb but won't mind what the weather does and he'll be fine back at 7f; high on the list. |

10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |

Three wins this year, two on turf at 7f and on the AW over 1m; most recent win came at the Curragh in June off 2lb lower; held twice since, including when beaten 9.25l after a sluggish start at Roscommon on latest; needs more off this mark. |

18th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 111y |

Two wins at the Curragh this season, both over 7f on good ground; not a bad run off revised mark over 1m there on latest and probably has more improvement to come but tricky draw to contend with here. |
13/2 |

5th 7 (6) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y |

In fine form this year; AW winner in February has raced three times at this track, winning twice over 7f and finishing second once over C&D; up 5lb for her latest win here last time (7f, good) under today's rider; could post another bold bid. |

Triple turf winner who made it 2-2 over C&D when bouncing back with a comfortable success (good) three weeks ago; remains feasibly treated off only 3lb higher and he won't mind if the forecast rain arrives; key player. |

1st 7 (1) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Needs to rebound from a substandard AW run ten days ago but made the frame on two of three turf starts in the spring (both times over 1m1f) and this longer trip probably suits better; can't be ignored off current mark. |
